The Washington County Farm Bureau’s Community Impact Grant Program seeks to identify various projects that will improve our community and create partnerships with groups and individuals to make those projects a reality. Proposals will be accepted thru July 31st from organizations or individuals based in Washington County or that have operations in the county. Examples of organizations include: schools, civic organizations, churches, 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, fraternities, sororities, and etc… Projects that have a lasting impact will be favored over those with a short-term impact. The Washington County Farm Bureau has committed $5,000 to fund eligible projects for 2016. Grant awards will be announced around August 15th, with project completion to occur by December 31st. If you have questions, or would like to request grant applications, contact the Washington County Farm Bureau office at (618) 327-3081 or washcfb@washingtoncfb.org. The Community Impact Grant Program is part of the Farm Bureau’s commitment to its mission of investing time and resources to improve the economic well-being of agriculture, and enriching the quality of the rural way of life.
